Remove DeltaSpike

👓 What did you see?

When building cucumber-jvm with Java 17 using mvn clean install:

Exception 0 :
org.jboss.weld.exceptions.WeldException: Unable to make protected final java.lang.Class java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(java.lang.String,byte[],int,int,java.security.ProtectionDomain) throws java.lang.ClassFormatError accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.lang" to unnamed module @62bd2070

        at org.jboss.weld.bean.proxy.ProxyFactory.create(ProxyFactory.java:248)

Upgrading Weld to the latest supported by deltaspike-cdictrl-api results in:

📚 Any additional context?

This is currently blocking the use of Java 17 to build the project which is required for #2644.

@toepi you once contributed this implementation in #1616. Can you confirm that there currently is no viable way to use DeltaSpike on Java 17?

[mpkorstanje]

Decided to deprecate Delta Spike. Will be removed in v8.

Looks like it can be made to work. It was mostly the tests that needed updating.
